As the book of Proverbs states:"Many are the plans in the mind of a
man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established." (#303)

God
is the sovereign master of his plan. But to carry it out he also makes use
of his creatures' cooperation. This use is not a sign of weakness, but
rather a token of almighty God's greatness and goodness. For God grants
his creatures not only their existence, but also the dignity of acting on
their own, of being causes and principles for each other, and thus of
cooperating in the accomplishment of his plan. (#306)

"In
reality it is only in the mystery of the Word made flesh that the mystery
of man truly becomes clear." (#359)

"Belief in the true Incarnation of the Son
of God is the distinctive sign of Christian faith: 'By this you know
the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has
come in the flesh is of God' (1 John 4:2). Such is the joyous
conviction of the Church from her beginning whenever she sings 'the
mystery of our religion': 'He was manifested in the flesh' (1 Tim.
3:16)." (#463)

"The unique and altogether singular event of the
Incarnation of the Son of God does not mean that Jesus Christ is part God
and part man, nor does it imply that he is the result of a confused mixture
of the divine and the human. He became truly man while remaining truly
God. Jesus Christ is true God and true man. During the first centuries,
the Church had to defend and clarify this truth of faith against the
heresies that falsified it." (#464)

Our Lady of Guadalupe: `Empress of
the Americas' and `Mother of Mercy'

by
Coley Taylor

We
can proudly—and humbly—say that America is the land of Our Lady.
And by America I do not mean simply the U.S.A. I mean ALL of
America—the Western Hemisphere. Every nook and corner of it has
been dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and was so dedicated long before the
Bishops in 1846 dedicated the United States to her in her title of the
Immaculate Conception, and asked her to be our celestial Patroness.
In a very real sense they were only ratifying something that had already
taken place centuries earlier. More...

450th Guadalupe Anniversary

by Stephen Oraze

"We
are certain that as long as you, (the Virgin of Guadalupe), are recognized
as Queen and Mother, America and Mexico will be safe."
(Pope Pius XII in his radio address to the Guadalupe shrine, Mexico City,
during special ceremonies, October 12, 1945.)

December
12, 1981, marked the 450th Anniversary of the appearances of
the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, to the humble Indian peasant Juan
Diego, near Mexico City, in 1531. This 450th Anniversary of Our Lady
of Guadalupe, coming from Heaven to earth on our Continent, has—or
should have—a far greater meaning for the United States than most
Americans realize.More...

What is special about the Special
Photograph of the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe?

1. The
general understanding about the original Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe
has been that Our Lady has been pregnant with the Baby Jesus even until
today. But the baby cannot be in the mother’s womb forever—the
baby must come out at the right time. The Special Photograph (of 1991)
finally declared Jesus’ birth in the form of the Holy Eucharist.
The Special Photo shows to us Jesus being on the tips of His Mother’s
fingers. This means Jesus, the Son of God the Father, is ready to
reign over the world (in the form of the Holy Eucharist) as soon as Our
Lady cleans the world by crushing the head of Satan as God had said
(Genesis 3:15).

We
can proudly—and humbly—say that America is the land of Our Lady.
And by America I do not mean simply the U.S.A. I mean ALL of
America—the Western Hemisphere. Every nook and corner of it has
been dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and was so dedicated long before the
Bishops in 1846 dedicated the United States to her in her title of the
Immaculate Conception, and asked her to be our celestial Patroness.
In a very real sense they were only ratifying something that had already
taken place centuries earlier.

Pope St. John Paul II firmly believed
in the truthfulness of the messages and miracles in Naju, Korea

What St. John Paul II said and did about Naju

1986:The
Korean Bishops went to Rome for their ad
limina visit to the Holy See in 1986 and the Pope John Paul II heard
about the miracles in Naju, Korea for the first time. During
the Korean Bishops’ audience with the Holy Father, Archbishop Victorinus
Yoon (from the Gwangju Diocese in Korea to which the Naju Parish belongs)
said, “In my diocese, a statue of the Blessed Mother has shed tears.”The Pope responded, “In such a case, it is important to examine the fruits.”

1991:Five
years later, the Korean Bishops again visited the Vatican for their ad
limina visit.During the meeting, the Holy Father encouraged (or ordered) the
Korean Bishops to share these wonderful graces in Naju with others in the Asia Continent.

These
words of Venerable Fulton Sheen echoed across the radio waves back in 1947
when he spoke about the effects of communism on modern womanhood and the
decision our age must make whether or not it will accept the gift of
woman, which produces the strongest societies, or reject that gift and
live with the catastrophic consequences that come with that. Who can
better reveal to the world the unique gift of womanhood that will make or
break modern civilization than “the Woman” herself, who in her usual
style of beauty and mystery left the world a timeless revelation at
Tepeyac Hill on 12 December 1531, forever memorialized under her title
“Our Lady of Guadalupe”. More...

We
now live in the new century in which Our Lady will fulfill what the Lord
God said to the serpent: “I will put enmities between you and the woman,
between your seed and her seed; she shall crush your head, and you shall
lie in wait for her heel.” (Genesis 3:15).”

Our
Lady gave messages to Fr. Stefano Gobbi of The
Marian Movement of Priests(December
31, 1997):“Truly
Satan, with the cup of lust, has succeeded in seducing all the nations of
the earth.He
has replaced love with hatred: communion with division: justice with many
injustices: peace with continuous war.In fact this entire century (the 20th century) has been
spent under the sign of cruel and bloody wars, which have claimed millions
of innocent victims .More...

Our Lady's last message to Fr.
Stefano Gobbi

Dec.
31, 1997:

“Beloved
sons, in silence and in prayer, spend with me the final hours of this year
which is about to end.Do not spend them in dissipation and entertainments, as so many of
my children do.

This year has been particularly important for my plan.You are now entering into my times.For this, I have traced out for you a light-filled way, along which
all of you must walk, in order to live the consecration which you have
made to my Immaculate Heart.

Now
all has been revealed to you... my plan has been prophetically
announced to you at Fatima, and during these years, I have been carrying
it out through my Marian Movement of Priests.More...

Our Lady's mission in our current
times

Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe taken by a lay person after
the Solemn Mass at the National
Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother in Portland, Oregon (also called “the Grotto”) on August 15,
1991.Several months

Portland, but the answer was neither positive nor negative.Later, a more detailed report
was prepared and submitted to Archbishop Alexander K. Sample of the Archdiocese of Portland in
June 2014 and His Excellency

on July 3, 2014 approving the distribution of this photograph to “inspire
greater faith and devotion to the Most Holy Mother of God.”More...

A Brief History from Genesis to Now

1.Genesis
3:15[The
Lord God said to the serpent:
“I will put enmities between you and the
woman, between your seed and her seed; she shall crush your head, and you
shall lie in wait for her heel.”]

2.After the long Old Testament
times, Jesus ─
who is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity ─
took human nature by being born of the Virgin Mary and died on the Crossand resurrected to make
salvation available to all humans.We can be saved eternally by
believing and trusting in Jesus as our Savior and living according to His
teachings.More...

This
Special Photograph is
exactly the same as the Original Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe of 1531
except that the Special Photograph has several very important images in
it, which had never seen in the Original Image.Also, the Special Photograph does not change Our Lady’s purpose
at the time in 1531 of completely ending the human sacrifice and
converting the Aztec Indians to her Divine Son, Jesus.Her purpose in 1531 was limited to a relatively small area: the
Aztec Empire (currently, a part of Mexico), but her same purpose now
covers the entire Americas and world.This current purpose or mission given to Our Lady by God will take
an enormously power and difficult efforts by her and her children in the
world who help her. More...

Q&A about the Special Photograph of the
Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe

1.What is
the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe?

2.How is
the Special Photograph of the Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe
related to Our Lady’s Plan of the Missionary Image of Our Lady of
Guadalupe?

Pope
Benedict XIV decreed that Our Lady of Guadalupe should be the
national patron (in Mexico), and made December twelfth a Holyday of
Obligation with an Octave. He also ordered the composition of a
special Mass and Office (1754).

I (Sr. Natalia) asked Jesus what I should do to please Him.He answered:“It
does not matter what you do, whether you sit or lie down.You can do anything, even exercise.The only thing that matters is that you should be always beside Me
and love Me!!!You should
never step out of Me.Tell Me
everything, even your thoughts.Do
not stop talking to Me.The
only thing I ask you to watch:not
to hurt Me.I’ll do the rest
for you; even the material and spiritual welfare of your family.If you love Me, you do not have to ask for anything.You have only one task: to love Me!I should like you to understand this eventually.Everything else will be provided for you, my poor, precious
child.”Click

Some of the main points
of Our Lady's messages

(received
by Kenneth Staloch)

1. Our
Lady of Guadalupe’s mission was not
completed in the 16th century but continues in our time.Our Lady said in her message:

“If
my image on Juan Diego’s tilma was intended to bring only those
8-9 million people to my Son Jesus during the few years following 12
December 1531, why would I sustain the miracle of my image today,
459 years later?” (August 14, 1990)

“Now,
after 459 years, it is the time for me to begin my journey so all, in the
Americas, may see me with their own eyes and know deeply the great love I
have for each one of you, my children.It will have happened to you what had happened to those millions of
my children, one by one, so long ago.” (November 10, 1990)

Our
Lady of Guadalupe left a miraculous Image of herself on St. Juan Diego’s
tilma especially for the Latin American people on December 12, 1531.The
Aztec Indians saw her Image filled with motherly love and mercy, totally
the opposite of their earlier terrifying false gods, and believed her to
be the Mother of the True God as well as their own Mother.They abandoned their idolatrous worship and stopped the horrible
human sacrifices.Over just 7 years, 10 millions of them embraced the Catholic Faith
and received Baptism. Now,
for our dangerously troubled world, Our Lady of Guadalupe is launching her
special plans.More...

Messages
received by locutionist
Kenneth Staloch

August 14, 1990

Our
Lady: I
still want to be carried to my children throughout the land.I want to travel throughout the length and breadth of the Americas.My Sonï¿½s Vicar on earth, Pope Pius XII, proclaimed me Empress
of All the Americasand that I have predestined the Americas for a special purpose.Pope
John XXIII proclaimed me as Queen
of the Americas.Pope
Benedict (XIV) said of my image,
"God
and Mary have not performed such a marvelous deed for any other nation."

Once again, Your Lady of
Guadalupe must move among all of my children in all of the Americas.Permit me, through the ever present and operative miracle of my
image on Juan Diego's tilma, to bring many millions to my Son Jesus,
through me.

In 1988, Our Lady revealed to Kenneth Staloch, a locutionist near
Seattle, that she desired her original Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to
tour the United States and other countries in the Americas.Ken informed Fr. Walter Winrich, a Maryknoll priest in Mexico, and
also with the dedication of Dan Lynch, an attorney in Vermont, the efforts
to carry out Our Ladyï¿½s desire began. The
Mexican Bishops, however, were hesitating as they were worried about the
possible damages to the Image and also the expected resentment of the
Mexican people for removing the Image from the Basilica in Mexico City.As an alternative solution, the Mexican Bishops offered to give two
exact replicas of the original Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the
Church in the United States, which Our Lady accepted.These replica Images were called the
Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the door for Our
Lady's Image visiting all states of the U.S.A. opened. More...

"I am a Guadalupano," Archbishop says.
"Our Lady of Guadalupe speaks to the little ones, to those who find
themselves marginalized and poor. She never comes to bishops, or scholars,
or rich people, but to those like St. Bernadette and St. Juan Diego.
And she didn't come with any grand revelation or message except 'I want a
church built here so I can be a mother to my people.'"

In his private chapel in Marquette, he kept an image of Our Lady of
Guadalupe that has been touched to the original tilma in Mexico City. The
image includes a vial of soil from Tepeyac Hill, where Mary appeared to
St. Juan Diego in 1531. More...

The
night of July 18, 1830 was a night that changed the world. It was
the night that the Blessed Virgin Mary ushered in the modern Marian
era. It had been almost 300 years since the apparition of Our Lady
of Guadalupe in 1531. This night in 1830 Our Lady's apparition began
a series of Marian apparitions, manifestations and ecclesial events
that were to succeed one another down to our own day. We can very
well see why Pope Paul VI declared, "Our era may well be called
the Marian era." (The Great Sign, #6, p. 11; May 13, 1967) More...

The Eucharistic Miracle
in Naju on Sep. 22, 1995, with sworn testimony of Bishop Roman Danylak

Bishop Roman Danylak and Fr. Joseph Finn from Canada
witness a Eucharistic miracle in Julia Kim's mouth. The Eucharist turned
into live Flesh and Blood in the shape of a small heart during an outdoor
Mass in Naju, Korea, on September 22, 1995.

His Excellency Paul Tchang-Ryeol Kim, Bishop of the
Cheju Diocese in Korea visited Naju on June 12, 1997 and witnessed a
miraculous descent of the Holy Eucharist in the Chapel. In the above
photograph, His Excellency holds the Eucharist in his hands to bless the
faithful in the chapel.

Vincent Thu to Naju in September 1995 and sent the following message
for Julia Kim:"I have a
profound respect for the Blessed Mother of Naju and a sincere
consolation for Mrs. Julia Kim."

the Holy See in 1996: "Share
the wonderful grace in Naju with others in Asia."

the time of Deluge even a half century ago according
to the messages that Sister Elena received. When we read themessages
in Naju since 1985 until recently, it is obvious that our current
situation is even much worse than at Sister Elena's time....

The warnings about the sins and
the need for penance found in Sister Elena's messages are the same
as thosereceived by Julia Kim in Naju,
Korea. The sacrifices that Sister Elena offered up also seem very
similar to thoseJulia has
been suffering, even though it appears that Julia's sufferings probably
have been the severest and longest in history.Julia
has also suffered enormous spiritual persecutions from the modernist
priests in Korea. More...

On
Current Perceptions and Attitudes Toward the Holy Eucharist

The key teachings of the Catholic Church on the Sacrament of the Holy
Eucharist are that, by the power of Jesus Christ represented by a validly
ordained priest, when the priest consecrates bread and wine during the
Mass as Jesus did during the Last Supper before His Passion, the
substances of the bread and wine change into the true Flesh and Blood of
Jesus Christ, while the species of bread and wine remain unchanged and
that, as the Flesh and Blood are of the resurrected and living Jesus and,
therefore, are united with His Soul and Divinity, the Full and Real
Presence of Our Lord exists in the Eucharist. [...]

God has been deploring the current situation of the worldwide erosion and
loss of the true Faith in Our Lordï¿½s Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist
and has sent down Eucharistic miracles especially in Naju, Korea (a total
of 33 times since 1988) as enlightenings as well as warnings. [...] When
God sends down to people His Commandments, Teachings, or Warnings, they
must humbly and diligently respond to them by correcting their thoughts
and reforming their lives. Tepid responses will not suffice the Divine
expectations.More...

Yesterday
and Today of Naju

Sworn Testimony by Benedict Sang M.
Lee

During the Korean Bishops'
ad limina visit to the Vatican in 1991, Archbishop Victorinus Gong-Hee
Youn of Gwangju reported to Pope John Paul II, "In my diocese,
a statue of the Blessed Mother shed tears." In response, the
Holy Father said, "In such matters, it is important to observe
the fruits." Then,
on October 31, 1995, one year before the Korean Bishops' next ad limina
visit in 1996, the Holy Father witnessed the Eucharistic miracle through
Julia in the Vatican chapel on October 31, 1995. The Holy Father also
received much information about Naju through Archbishop Giovanni Bulaitis,
the Apostolic Nuncio who had visited Naju on November 24, 1994. To the
Korean Bishops in 1996, the Holy Father said: "Share the
wonderful grace in Naju with other countries in Asia". We
have also been informed that the Holy Father was looking at the
photographs of the Blessed Mother shedding tears and tears of blood in
Naju without stopping for about 40 minutes, with his hands slightly raised
as he would during the prayers of the Mass. More...

official letter to the Gwangju Archbishop stating: "As
the events in Naju are considered private revelations, the restrictions on
Fr. Chang and pilgrims should be lifted and Fr. Chang can celebrate the

To remedy the
numerous errors against Naju

With regard to the miracles and messages received by Mrs. Julia Kim in
Naju, Korea, there seem to be three categories of responses: (1) There are
those who are well aware of what really is going in the Church concerning
Naju and stand firm in obeying God instead of obeying men (cf. Acts
5:29). They do not fear the eyes or criticisms of others in visiting Naju,
attending the prayer meetings there, or spreading the information about
Naju; (2) There are many others who accept the truthfulness of Naju but
are hesitant to join the pilgrims, saying that they will quietly continue
waiting for the official approval of Naju; (3) There also are those who
are badly shaken by hearing some negative rumors about Naju and become
seriously doubtful or turn against Naju. Most such rumors have been spread
by the liberal priests in Gwangju and they seem to have reached even some
of the high officials in the Vatican through the opposing clergy's written
reports, DVD, and visits.... More...

In the early part of the
Korean War (thirty-five years earlier than in Naju), the Blessed
Mother shed tearsof blood before the attacking
North Korean soldiers through her statue in Our Lady of the Holy
Rosary Church in Gamgok, which is a small town about 50 miles
southeast of Seoul. Gamgok is one of the best-known Marian shrines
in Korea now.

St.
John Bosco explains his dream: "The enemy ships are persecutions. The
most serious trials for the Church are near at hand...Her enemies are
represented by the ships that tried to sink the ship if they could. Only
two means are left to save her amidst so much confusion: DEVOTION TO MARY
MOST HOLY and FREQUENT COMMUNION, making use of every means and doing our
best to practice them and having them practiced everywhere and by
everybody."
